One noteworthy difference between US presidents Madison and Monroe regarding Congressional authorization of military acts was seen when President Madison sought and received Congressional authorization for a limited war against Algeria in 1815. President Monroe, however, took a different approach. When the Native Seminole Tribe was making raids into Florida, Monroe, without seeking counsel or authorization from Congress, ordered General Andrew Jackson to put an end to the raids. Both situations required a military action and each president took a different approach regarding Congressional approval.

Review and Enactment
Executive orders (EO's) are useful to presidents especially in times of war, because it allows them to bypass the lengthy congressional process that would otherwise take place.
From Wikipedia: Before passage by Congress of the Former Presidents Act (FPA) in 1958, retired Presidents did not receive a pension. All living Presidents in 1959 began to receive a pension of $25,000 per year, an office and a staff. The pension has increased numerous times with Congressional approval. Retired Presidents now receive a pension based on the salary of the current administration's cabinet secretaries (Executive Level I), which is $191,300 as of 2008.[22] Some former Presidents have also collected congressional pensions.[23] The FPA, as amended, also provides former presidents with travel funds and mailing privileges.
